Read the article above about the fantastic BBC production 'Frozen Planet'

I find it rather disturbing and frustrating that the USA have decided not to broadcast the final episode.

What are your opinions on this?

Read this resource from the Guardian which should give you a really comprehensive view on climate change and the issues that it brings with it.

Writing lyrics about Population theories!

This was an example of a fantastic piece of group work last week where a year 11 group changed the lyrics of 'Humpty Dumpty' to help with revising population theories.

Thomas Malthus sat on a wall

He said the population was going to fall

All the kings horses and all the kings men

Had a big war and it led to famine

Thomas Malthus said to the world

At population check there will be a war

Because the population goes up and there is not enough food

And leaves the entire world in a mood

Esther Boserup thought it was good

If the population went up and we ate all the food

Because we will make it using other ways

To stop our hunger so the human race stays

Esther Boserup’s theory wasn’t all true

The LEDC’s would still feel blue

Because they don’t have the tech to make these break throughs

And they’ll probably end up eating their shoes.
